The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st July 1974A price rises by 10% and then falls by 20%. Work out the overall percentage change, to 2 decimal places.
  2. 2nd July 1974A right-angled triangle has sides 7 cm, 24 cm and 25 cm. Work out the angle opposite the 7 cm side, to 1 decimal place.
